Clinton De Witt Co. Texas May 5th 1866. Col. W.H. Sinclair Asst. Adjt General, Colonel: I have the honor to report that I have given my attention to the state of education of colored children at Clinton and vicinity. It appears there are a great many of colored people, who would be happy to send their children to school, but who are too poor to support a teacher and to hire a school room. Matters may be different after the crops have been gathered and divided. I remain Colonel Very Respectfully Your Obed't Serv't Albert A. Metzner 2nd Lieut and Sub Asst Com'r Bureau R.F. and A.L.
